Ohio Girl ——y Lima, O., April 26— Who murder- pretty sixteen-year-old Susan Coleman, and what was the. motive from the crime? These are the im- portant questions which the Allen county grand jury which convened today will attempt to solve. Confined in a cell within a stone's throw of the grand jury room is Dor- rance Riddle, aged 25, son of James E. Riddle, for years a wealthy con- tractor in Lima. Riddle was the sweetheart of the murdered girl. When young Riddle was taken into custody on suspicion of being the slayer of Miss Coleman the police al- lege that he made a complete confes- sion of the crime. Later this alleged confession was repudiated by the youth and today he declares to all visitors that he had nothing to do with the killing. Riddle is a machinist and form- erly a corporal in the United States army. The murdered girl was a fac- tory worker. Her body was found on the afternoon of April 15 con- cealed in an old boller in the Lima railroad yards. He skull han been crushed. An examination of the body, it is said, revealed the fact that the girl was about to become a mother, Mrs. Jenne M. Riddle, stepmother ®f the young man accused of the murder, told the police on the morn- ing that the body was discovered that he stepson had asked her be- fore leaving for the railroad shops, where he was employed, to clan his clothes, which he had worn the nightbefore. Upon receiving this information the police searched young Riddle's room, where they found the girl’s pocketbook under the dressing table and several gar- ments stained with blood. It was upon being confronted with this evi- dence that Riddle is said to have confessed. According to the alleged confession the young man had strangled and beaten the girl to death after she had accused him of having wronged her. Calvin Coleman, father of the murdered girl, declares that he is not convinced that young Riddle was his daughter’s slayer. He inti- mates that others were concerned in the crime. He declares that a plot his get amateur championship of Amer- gaughter and that he has sufficient ica, at Travers Island. d Carpenter vs. Art Nelson, 10 rounds, at Racine, Wis.

Many of the under- graduates and graduates are anxious jto see the university take up inter- | ! collegiate rowing and it is under- stood a committee of students has been formed to canvass the univer- sity in order to find out what the general sentiment is. If it is favor- able application will probably boi made to the Intercollegiate Rowing | Association and an effort made to send crews to the regetta on the Hudson. Jimmy Sheckard, former Cub out- fielder, intended buying a hoted. He spoke to his wife and mother about it, but they objected for the reason that there was a*bar in the hotel. They finally gave in. He had his lplnnl all settled to buy the hotel, |lml the following day Billy Sunday jcame to town. Sheckard's wife and "mother went to hear him, and that was the end of Jimmy’s plans. ' TRY THIS NEXT TIME. . The next time a pretty girl or a well-dressed and agreeable stranger comes into your place of business so- liciting advertising for a time table, or a hotel directory, or a church guide or any of the other “schemes’ which may have been or may be worked on the merchants of this town, ask the solicitir to sit down for a moment. Then politély ques- tion him or her. Ask how many copies are to be issued, how the distribution is to be effected, what guarantee is given that the full number will be print- ed and distributed as promised. Then when these questions are answered, as they will be to your satisfaction, for the solicitor is glib with just what kind of answer, ask a few more questions. Ask what amount of money will be collected by the solicitor, how much the printer will ¢ harge for setting up the job, how much the distribution will cost and how long it will take the solicitor to fill the blank spaces, Then do a little figuring. You will find that the solicitor expects to make a clear profit of at least $10 a day out of the town— perhaps more. The figures will sur- prise you. Shoy your figures to the solicitor and while he is attempting to ex- plain and hem and haw, tell him that you will spend your $5 or $10 in the newspaper, where every pur- chaser in your territory will be sure to see your advertisement. It will be discouraging to the grafter but he will be gone the next day, so you need not worry. Now, if you could get the same value for your $5 or $10 that you et in the newspaper, the solicitor would be entitled to his $10 a day. But you can’t get any value. Advertising of that sort never paid anyone but the fellow who runs the scheme. fTn fact it isn’t advertising at all, but a rank imitation.—Ex.
